Here's a photo of my new Skywagon. I've wanted one for years, and finally bought this one a week ago. This is the first time I've ever posted a photo. It's gigantic, but I don't know how to size it down and I'm tired of messing with it anyway. But here it is. (maybe Zane can shrink it down to a proper size for me?) ** EDIT- fixed it.
Quite a different machine to fly than my old ragwing 170, and esp my C150/150TD, but I love it. Got about 5 or 6 hours in it now.

Congrats! That's awesome...now come on down to 3SGS HSF!

Sweet congrats, looks bigger than mine

Hot rod, you got the pic to post, so you're 90% of the way there! All you have to do when you post these is edit the URL and take out the word "original". Then it will post a forum-friendly size of the pic:

Here is your original URL with the offending part highlighted:
https://www.backcountrypilot.org/images/originalphotos/125/4086/2d339645b239e9408caacb8c.jpg


And this is what the pic looks like after the edit:



That's a nice, clean-looking 180 you have there! You should post some cockpit pics in "Show us your panel" here:https://www.backcountrypilot.org/community/forum/latest/show-us-your-panel-14757?hilit=Show%20us%20your%20panel

Oh man, the 180 is such a great airplane. Congrats on getting one.

It worked!
BTW I posted in the marketplace forum that I'm looking for an original Cessna CHT gauge in working condition. Wouldn't mind an original carb air temp gauge either.

Congrats! Now you've got to change your handle to hotrod180 or hotrodwagon.

Congrats on the new aircraft! I love to see more Skywagons join the site.

Congrats Hotrod, you're gonna love it!!

Please post interior pictures, mods, engine data etc., so we here in the peanut gallery can criticize as well as offer opinions on STOL kits, VG's, props, etc., all the while questioning why you didn't buy a Maule.

Congrats on the 180 hotrod! Great looking plane.

Good lookin machine you got there!!! Have a ball with her

Congrats! Looks sweet. You'll love your new 180!

Sweet plane Eric!

Very nice looking Skywagon!! Congrats and have lots of fun!

Hotrod,

Congrats on the beautiful new bird. Now when you miss your great -170, give me a call. I fly mine over from Harvey Field and let you fly it for old times sakes.

Cool!! It looks clean and bone stock! No ski tabs, float kit, stock tips, no leading edge, duel exhaust. Pretty dang un touched. Probably as light of a wagon as they get. I like it.

Heck yeah, super happy for ya, have fun

Congratulations. Beautiful Skywagon. Glad to hear your enjoying it.
